I am most likely the least mechanically-inclined person you could meet and will likely never have any desire to work on any automobile engine, however, this is one of the most interesting, educational and enjoyable video series that I watch. Your explanations and demeanor make virtually all of your videos just plain GOOD to view. Keep up the good work, Pete.
I have said this exact same thing on several other videos that Pete has done. Though I will never call myself a "mechanic", I still learn a LOT about how things work and go together, which has come in handy on even small projects. And I absolutely LOVE the instructional aspect of these videos. Not only that, but they are very ENTERTAINING as well!
When I was a wet behind the ears kid just out of high school, a nice older very experienced man who worked for a local machine shop took me under his guidance and taught me how to rebuild heads and grind crankshafts. Then he took me through all the steps of engine assembly. He was a real stickler for thoroughness and following the manufactures guidelines for the particular engine we were working on. Your International truck engine was one I got very familiar with, and we rebuilt lots of them. Your work in this video brings back many fond memories of my old friend who was so patient with me. He taught me so much that I likely have forgotten, until you reminded me of it. I eventually pursued a career in Architectural wood working. But I still enjoy mechanical things. Great work Pete. Thanks for all you and Hilarie do. It is so greatly appreciated.
No amount of money could buy the knowledge and experience you gained at the side of this man! I was fortunate to learn a lot from my uncle and grandpa in my very early years on the farm where 100% of their equipment was International Harvester.
Oh Pete, if only my dad were still here. He would've loved watching you rebuild an old engine and restore the truck to running order. As it is, I am enjoying your explanations. Dad taught me about the four strokes of the engine, so I was the only girl in my high school science class who understood how an internal combustion engine worked. God bless you and your lovely family
60 years ago, I had a science class in high school where I learned the four strokes of the engine-intake, compression, ignition, and exhaust. I went home and told my Daddy what I had learned, and he was amazed because I was a girl. I think we learned more in high school back then than we do in college today.
My son (at about age 10) and I were working on a lawnmower engine and I was giving him the 4 stroke sequence using intake, compression, etc, he was struggling to remember those words in their proper order. After I rephrased it to, suck squeeze bang blow, he had it down cold. He’s now 34 but if I asked him today, he’d recite the sequence in the simple way I taught him. 😎👍👋
We learned usable knowledge in school way back when. Kids now learn a lot more stuff, or at least are exposed to it, but most of the knowledge doesn't help you get through life very well. Common sense doesn't even enter the chat.
Thanks for being excellent at explaining the "why" of things as you put the engine back together. Really looking forward to seeing the old truck running again.
I was educated in the Army for engine repair. I was told all 6 cylinder straights have the same firing order. I'm sure there may be exceptions but never found one. The way to remember the order for a 18 year old recruit was To young, to old, just right (15, 36, 24). I was taught this some 46 years ago and still remember it today. Thanks you so much for your time making your videos. I enjoy them greatly.
I don’t know why, but I throughly enjoyed this video, as I am not very mechanical at all. You show great patience in working on your engine rebuilds, you obviously enjoy these projects very much. Thank you for your channel!
Pete ... you should have been an automotive arts instructor. This was a great presentation and practical application of an internal combustion engine. Hats off to you!
I have to say, for someone that is in healthcare and doesn't know nothing about engines, you have done a marvelous job of explaining how the engine works, how to assemble it, how it works, and CONFIDENT WITH YOUR VIDEOS, I CAN WORK ON AN ENGINE WITH CONFIDENCE, thank you very much for the tutorial, if i may call it that. Great video!!!!!!!!
I am so excited to see Pete. Tell them why, show them how, let them try, and keep repeating until they've got it. That was my mantra as a professor. Pete, you are a wonderful teacher.
Good morning Pete !!!! Six gun cork pistol !!! Reminds me of a double barrel cork shot gun I had as a kid. You broke it in the middle to cock it, and the corks were on strings to provide a speedy reloads. My parents were very grateful of my new ability to keep the backyard completely clear of desperados
Your head gasket explanation makes sense. I did the same thing with my gas start diesel as you, same gasket same copper coat. I had the same result, water all over and had to take it back apart. The best head shop in our area is owned by an Oliver tractor collector. He has had his best overall luck thru the years installing head gaskets dry. I got a NOS gasket, installed it dry, retorqued after a warm up and finally success!
I like when you explain as you go along on the process as you are putting it back together. Being older, I have come to be interested in many other things. So it is no problem you are taking your time with the project. Thank you.
Thank you Pete; this was absolutely fantastic and I enjoyed every second. My dad was a structural engineer and had his Air Frame and Powerplant License (he attended Grumman after WWII to obtain this license on the GI Bill). When I was in High School (I'm 67 years old so this was some time ago) my dad would take me under his wing and show and explain the rebuilding of Lycoming aircraft power plants, both four and six horizontal cylinder engines. I ate it up with a spoon. I worked in a Honda motorcycle shop as a teen back in the 70's and came into high demand within the shop due to my dad's instruction. Daddy taught me how to diagnose a motorcycle's ailment and correct it. I also remember that his workshop was absolutely immaculate with wide windows for natural light and fluorescent lighting on the ceiling. Daddy taught me how to use a lathe and a milling machine; he taught me how to arc weld and braze with oxyacetylene. Thanks again and God bless. Ben in N.C.
My sons are auto mechanics. And have always been in awe at their Skills. I once saw the guts of a Audi A8. OMG! How could anyone put that back together. FANTASTIC... Skills. Smart boys.
Mornin Pete, great show. Engine assembly has allways been one of my favorite times of the task. the cork plugs was cute. That's what the call a real Corker. Be well. Hi Hillary.
I've never seen a compression quite like that you had me laughing out loud that was priceless. Another great teaching video. I think the best part is the fact there's not a bunch of electronics to have to deal with, just a nice basic engine. Can't wait to hear it run, it'll purr like a kitten.
My grandfather worked on those International engines a lot and he used to say the firing order was, Too young - 15, Too old - 36, and just right - 24. I was too young to know what he meant at the time, but I've never forgotten the firing order of most 6 inline cylinder engines. Lol ✌️👍 Nice show, I enjoy your videos!
You would be an excellent teacher at pretty much any topic Pete . With your videos I think i could rebuild that engine with alot of pauses of course but explain things so simply that i think i could .Thanks for sharing with us all .👍
Procedural and disciplined. You arm yourself with knowledge through research and mentally weigh and rehearse what is passed down from experienced sources.
Pete, that was an outstanding explanation of the operation and assembly of an internal combustion engine. You described the functions clear enough for a beginner to comprehend and follow. I have been rebuilding engines for more than fifty years and enjoyed the fact that our two methodologies for assembly matched exactly. Well done, brother.
Great video, Pete I love watching the detailed description of your rebuild video's. Thank you for your work in filming and producing. Top notch content, sir.
You made the build so peaceful. Me and the honey sitting in NH on a rainy day after snow were glued to the screen. I am 64 and she is 71 and never saw the cork test before. Now we are noisy about it. Wicked.
Dad used a running method of setting valves. With the correct feeler gauge in he would tighten the until the idle starts to labor then immediately back the setting to a smooth idle. It worked perfectly every time. Very quick and accurate 😊
That's a good method when the initial set-up has been done and you are adjusting the valves that are within cooee.... but probably won't work well where the lash is so far out as they were on this freshly assembled engine.
The cork in the plug hole demo was the best! If someone wanted a clear explanation of firing order, I couldn’t think of a better model. Plus, under the “boys and their toys” heading, it was just cool to watch. I’d probably have to do that a dozen times before getting on with the assembly. You do a great job of explaining the process. Thanks. 🥸👍👀👋✅
Three generations from now some young man will say my great grandpa overhauled this engine. Then the process will repeat itself. Excellent video, Pete.
I am a mechanic of 40+ years. Nice job on the head install. I always torque the bolts in 1/3 at a time to get close to even. Plus as you said let set for a bit and re torque all again. It always amazed me how many would go just a hair more after sitting.
That stuck shirt is quite relatable 😆 Been there a dozen times. As long as it's your shirt and not your skin, you're fine ;) I am going to remember using an egg tray for organising parts. So easy and effective. Never thought about it. Thx for showing that trick! I also love your old skool approach on things. makes me remember when I was a mech rookie and was taught lots of things by elder colleagues. Now I'm teaching them to the younger people. I am working in an R&D company, known for cutting edge technology but sometimes old tricks just work better or more reliable. Doing tests at -60°C, a lot of sensors and parts fail and that's when simple, reliable and proven solutions come back. I had an engineer last year that was about to blow off a test because his acoustic sensor, guarding a bearing, failed on him. His face xpression was priceless when i pulled out the screwdriver I always have in my pocket, held it against the bearing housing and put my ear on it to listen, stating: "it'll work, the frequencies are fine". Another thing one of the elder technicians did was when I was working (in the same company) at a pilot foundry in my twenties. One of the researchers wanted to purposely generate nitrogen inclusions in a casting but didn't find a proper solution to do so. Our head technician simply asked everyone to bring potato peels from dinner that evening to work the next day and threw that into the mould before casting it. Nitrogen inclusions galore :)
Do not skip steps....or alot of undoing ! A process that makes it work properly. See I was paying attention. This is fun but the tractors are really fun.😊. Really enjoying this restoration. Thank you Pete!
Loved this video. I am started to restore a 1955 Ferguson TO35. You amke a good teacher and take time to explain clearly how an engine "works". Thanks!
What a great mechanic you are. I could watch you all day. You always create great content. The only thing missing this time was, nothing on the grill!! You always make me hungry. Have a great day.
In all my years of working on engines, I never thought to put corks in the spark plug holes. Now I wonder why not. You are doing great at educating the novice AND entertaining us mechanics. P.S. I hope Henry hasn't lost interest...
Great job of editing and camera work Pete. It keeps things interesting and easy to watch. You have learned much about RUclips content creation. I truly enjoy your channel.
I had guessed you'd increased your displacement around 8-10 c.i.. I'm glad you told us, and satisfied my curiosity. I enjoyed the popping wine corks...never seen that done before! That should be a great rebuild Pete....looking forward to hearing it run.
Pete ,I learn all kinds of neat things from You, and you explain everything real well . I got a kick out of the cork test . Thank you for your video's they are always nice and informative .
Pete, I love how you teach, by doing and showing the "how" and "why". I remember back last century, in the '70's, when I built one of my engines (racing) I had to do the tappets every weekend to keep it running smoothly. I took the vehicle to a shop where they could only get it to idle at 1100 RPM. I managed 1300 RPM at home. If assembled well, these engines will operate for a very long time, given servicing at the correct timings per the manuals. I love listening to you calmly explaining each step in the process for the ones watching to learn from your experience. Carry on, And I'll be watching intently each episode, as I have for years, your channel. BTW I love your channel.
Wow ! This is Just A Few Acres University with Professor Pete ! Thank You Professor Pete "That Was Kool" !! I Love Watching you work on Engines it's Inspiring :)
Great to see the engine rebuild. Just takes me back 56 years to my first engine rebuild. Definitely not as careful as what you’ve done Pete. I found an old kitchen knife in the bottom of the sump after taking the engine out. That car is still running today 😃
Blimey Pete, what a joy to work on an engine hanging off an engine stand! Unlike me, twisted up like a contortionist, squeezed into an English engine bay with telescopic hands in the pitch dark, trying to see things like gaps in the points - stuff of nightmares.
Very nice job on this one. Thank you for your thorough and thoughtful description of the process involved in seating heads . I especially like the segment where you explain the crosshatch(phonograph finish). Thank you again.
🤣🤣🤣 I absolutely love the wine corks and wish I'd thought of that when I was teaching! Pete, don't ever say you're not a mechanic, you sir are better than a lot of so called "professionals" I worked with. Excellent job and video 👏👏👏
Pete great video. You are wicked smart on these old engines. Thank you for sharing. You have motivated me to put a new clutch in my ole Ford 600 diesel tractor . I’am pretty mechanically inclined . After watching you I’am give it a shot . Thank you 👍👍👍👍👍

Loved the compression ''Cork Test''. Good laugh.
Pete, I laughed so hard over the wine cork compression test!
Pete, I have no doubt you were a top notch architect but you are an exemplary teacher. Thank you!
Not such a great math teacher. 1955 to 2024 is 69 years, not almost 75 years.
Love this project though!

I fondly remember my first rebuild in 1969. This is an outstanding and patient refresher. Thank you for sharing Pete.
Who would have thought a farmer working on an engine would be so fascinating. Another very interesting and educational video. Thanks Pete, well done!
The cork test was hilarious. Thank you for bringing us along on this journey.
Great video. The corks were really a great way to see the firing order.
I like when you explain as you go along on the process as you are putting it back together. Being older, I have come to be interested in many other things. So it is no problem you are taking your time with the project. Thank you.
I was taught the same thing, no sealer on a head gasket, It has to be clean. Thanks for the video, great job.

Videos like this, including tractor rebuilds you did, inspired and equipped me to rebuild a Ford 8n some years ago. I love these mechanic videos!

Procedural and disciplined.
You arm yourself with knowledge through research and mentally weigh and rehearse what is passed down from experienced sources.
Great video again! I loved the logic regarding the head gasket sealing. I loved to hear how things are reasoned out and explained.

I have been rebuilding engines for more than fifty years and enjoyed the fact that our two methodologies for assembly matched exactly. Well done, brother.
Thanks Pete, the engine rebuild is very interesting and I learn new stuff every time.
Pete is best teacher on RUclips 🛠️🧰🗜️
Thanks for the video Pete. Love the cork compression testers.
Great video, Pete
I love watching the detailed description of your rebuild video's. Thank you for your work in filming and producing. Top notch content, sir.
Cork test was great!
Hey Pete, that was a awesome example of how the engine works, including the cork test. 😅 Thanks .😊
You made the build so peaceful. Me and the honey sitting in NH on a rainy day after snow were glued to the screen. I am 64 and she is 71 and never saw the cork test before. Now we are noisy about it. Wicked.
Nice to hear that you decided to save this engine. They just don't make them like that anymore.
Dad used a running method of setting valves. With the correct feeler gauge in he would tighten the until the idle starts to labor then immediately back the setting to a smooth idle. It worked perfectly every time. Very quick and accurate 😊

Best most satisfying show of compression ever filmed. 👍👍
Pete enjoy watching and learning from you. You brake it up with a little humor, which is a plus. Blessings, and Merry Christmas🙂
Learned so much! Loved the cork stopper compression test and the broken screwdriver TDC meter. What a gem you are Pete.
Pete the efforts you put in on your videos are truly appreciated. What a pro. Thanks again, say hi to Hillary. 🇺🇲💪
Three generations from now some young man will say my great grandpa overhauled this engine. Then the process will repeat itself. Excellent video, Pete.
Nice tap handle.
I WAS
THINKING THE SAME
Thanks, Pete.
I always find this part of your channel. Interesting.
Beautiful job, loved the extra attention to detail.
I am a mechanic of 40+ years. Nice job on the head install. I always torque the bolts in 1/3 at a time to get close to even. Plus as you said let set for a bit and re torque all again. It always amazed me how many would go just a hair more after sitting.
Thank you for taking the time to video this process and explain it. Very cool
That stuck shirt is quite relatable 😆 Been there a dozen times. As long as it's your shirt and not your skin, you're fine ;)
I am going to remember using an egg tray for organising parts. So easy and effective. Never thought about it. Thx for showing that trick!
I also love your old skool approach on things. makes me remember when I was a mech rookie and was taught lots of things by elder colleagues. Now I'm teaching them to the younger people. I am working in an R&D company, known for cutting edge technology but sometimes old tricks just work better or more reliable. Doing tests at -60°C, a lot of sensors and parts fail and that's when simple, reliable and proven solutions come back.
I had an engineer last year that was about to blow off a test because his acoustic sensor, guarding a bearing, failed on him. His face xpression was priceless when i pulled out the screwdriver I always have in my pocket, held it against the bearing housing and put my ear on it to listen, stating: "it'll work, the frequencies are fine".
Another thing one of the elder technicians did was when I was working (in the same company) at a pilot foundry in my twenties. One of the researchers wanted to purposely generate nitrogen inclusions in a casting but didn't find a proper solution to do so. Our head technician simply asked everyone to bring potato peels from dinner that evening to work the next day and threw that into the mould before casting it. Nitrogen inclusions galore :)
Pete Thank you for the videos. I look forward to these rebuilds.
Do not skip steps....or alot of undoing ! A process that makes it work properly. See I was paying attention. This is fun but the tractors are really fun.😊. Really enjoying this restoration. Thank you Pete!
Loved this video. I am started to restore a 1955 Ferguson TO35. You amke a good teacher and take time to explain clearly how an engine "works". Thanks!
What a great mechanic you are. I could watch you all day. You always create great content. The only thing missing this time was, nothing on the grill!! You always make me hungry. Have a great day.
GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. MAY YOU AND YOUR WIFE HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY SEASON
Thanks Pete ❤
Thank you, you make me happy when I see the engine come back to life. Wonderful video. Sitting in Sweden and following you, Thank you.
I like you. You remind me of my dad in ways. Thank you Pete for being you.
Hi Pete! Thank you for walking us through the process of rebuilding your engine. You make it look so easy.
Nice tutorial Pete
Thanks for your cadence and calm. Outstanding work, Pete. That engine is looking great. Can't wait for you to fire it up. Merry Christmas.
I have learned a lot from you on rebuilding an engine I understand everything that you do thank you for all your information and I like the cork set
In all my years of working on engines, I never thought to put corks in the spark plug holes.
Now I wonder why not.
You are doing great at educating the novice AND entertaining us mechanics.
P.S.
I hope Henry hasn't lost interest...
That was fun. Great explanation of valves, lash and timing. The instructor side of you fits, Pete.
You are a great teacher Pete.
Great job of editing and camera work Pete. It keeps things interesting and easy to watch. You have learned much about RUclips content creation. I truly enjoy your channel.
Agreed..video editing is superb..😊
Love watching and listening to you work. I loved and love watching my Dad and my husband work too.
I had guessed you'd increased your displacement around 8-10 c.i..
I'm glad you told us, and satisfied my curiosity.
I enjoyed the popping wine corks...never seen that done before!
That should be a great rebuild Pete....looking forward to hearing it run.
Pete ,I learn all kinds of neat things from You, and you explain everything real well . I got a kick out of the cork test . Thank you for your video's they are always nice and informative .

Great to see the engine rebuild. Just takes me back 56 years to my first engine rebuild. Definitely not as careful as what you’ve done Pete.
I found an old kitchen knife in the bottom of the sump after taking the engine out.
That car is still running today 😃
Blimey Pete, what a joy to work on an engine hanging off an engine stand! Unlike me, twisted up like a contortionist, squeezed into an English engine bay with telescopic hands in the pitch dark, trying to see things like gaps in the points - stuff of nightmares.
Thx for the detailed video. Loved the wine cork test!
Very nice job on this one. Thank you for your thorough and thoughtful description of the process involved in seating heads .

Loved the corks popping off! A very detailed description. I do believe you are al great teacher as well.
Many thanks for sharing your experience with us all mate and a great video
Oh man, that cork trick was awesome !!
Excellent instruction. I wish I had such a teacher during my learning years. Many thanks for posting.
You are getting closer and closer to getting it running again... I can't wait to see and hear it run again!!
You are a fantastic teacher! I like your style!
I said to my kitty, his shirt is going to get caught! Love your informative videos on topics I will never encounter! Thank you!
Wonderful step by step on putting the engine back together. Best part was the corks popping in sequence
🤣🤣🤣 I absolutely love the wine corks and wish I'd thought of that when I was teaching!
Pete, don't ever say you're not a mechanic, you sir are better than a lot of so called "professionals" I worked with.
Excellent job and video 👏👏👏
Having been a mechanic most of my life. I learned Suck, squeeze, bang, blow. Your explanation is priceless and entertaining. Thanks.
Pete great video. You are wicked smart on these old engines. Thank you for sharing. You have motivated me to put a new clutch in my ole Ford 600 diesel tractor . I’am pretty mechanically inclined . After watching you I’am give it a shot . Thank you 👍👍👍👍👍
